← ScienceWhich outcome results when applying Bernoulli's equation improperly using pitot tube measurements?
A)Incorrect fluid velocity will be calculated✓
B)True static pressure reading prevails
C)Accurate flow rates are then guaranteed
D)Boundary layer separation inevitably diminishes
💡 Explanation
An incorrect fluid velocity is calculated because applying Bernoulli's equation assumes inviscid, steady flow; however, pitot tubes may experience turbulence altering total pressure. Therefore, the calculated velocity is often overestimated rather than providing an accurate measure.
